About Jefferson Glassie

Jefferson Glassie has been studying and writing about concepts of peace for most of his adult life.  It’s sort of an obsession.  His main goals in life are to have peace of mind and bring peace to the earth.  He’s still working at it.  Heaven is Everywhere is his magnum opus thus far.  His other spiritual books include Peace and Forgiveness and Poems of Peace and Forgiveness. He also has written a history of an incredible Island (My Love Affair with an Island: The History of the Jefferson Islands Club and St. Catherine’s Island) and a crazy book about the healing sounds of the universe to bring peace in Fonging for the Soul. His most recent book is Fonging for the World, and he has produced a full soundtrack audiobook of Fonging for the World with 18 characters, 6 songs, and a lot of intriguing sounds!

He is also co-founder and Chief Spiritual Dude of the Planetary Gigs Society, whose mission is making connections through music with the intention of creating peace. He also is host of a podcast called Planetary Gig Talk, in which he talks with musicians and others about the power of music and how we can tap into music to make a better world.  He hosts a zoomcast series of panel conversations about music called Planetary Gig Talk Live! He also co-hosts Planetary Music Project with Tara Linhardt.  In addition, he has conducted several Concerts for Democracy.  He also is a founder of the Council for Music Shamans.

Jefferson lives in Bethesda, Maryland with his wife, Julie Littell.  He loves his children and grandchildren, and his most favorite thing is to sing and play music with friends.
